new bike

[Foolds]

If I had the money to buy now that's probably what I would get. But I am a girl so I will probably change my mind 100 times between now and April.

I dunno that 09 600rr Felt damn sexy, I got a new bike and I almost bought a new one!

[eg bter]

Ive been itching for another gsxr 750 since I wrecked my 07 last year

[Wyck]

One of these days I will ditch work for a bit and hit faymeyers so I can compare side by side without trying to remember what the other felt like from another shop....hmmm maybe I will do that today at lunch.

[caddygsxr]

go with the GSXR

[Sortarican]

I vote GSXR

Why not, after all, it is a girl's bike.

No shit! They had the white one out at Grand Prix with all the sparkly girly shit and the guys were asking me what I thought about it so I told them If I go that route it would probably have to be black. Though on Suzuki's website it looks like it has girly shit on it too those bastards.

What looks girly? The paint? Don't think mine looked girly.

Wow..that was a nice bike

I like my girly bike.

[Wyck]

This is what I'm talking about

[Sortarican]

No....the riders.

[Ceez]

No....the riders.

One time I go riding in chaps and forget to wear jeans and get branded for life...

Yeah, but you pull that look off.

Actually Wyck makes a great point about the Gixer 600 having all the technological features of the 1000.
I think they're the only ones that did that at the 600 level.
(Though I'm not sure about the Kawi's.)

They are and even though that's true MSRP is still the same as all the others. Seat height/size/position is perfect for me (no lowering needed), all the lights are already integrated (no aftermarket kits needed to ungay the bike), it has the electronic damper and slipper clutch vs one or the other (kawi damper is manual). IE It's ready to ride off the floor and I won't need to dump a few hundred bucks into it right off the bat which is definitely a good thing.

All these bikes are ready to ride off the floor. You don't need a slipper or a dampner for the street. Really, you don't. And you won't die of humiliation from not having flush mount signals and an aftermarket can. Really.

True, but I'm a girl I want it all! And I want it free

Yes, Yes I will.

And people don't "need" 110+ HP in a 600cc bike either.
But if someone wanted to equip my bike with a slipper clutch, damper, ABS, multi-stage ignition, and gobs of HP, I wouldn't complain.
(Except maybe the ABS, I don't like it on cars so I probably wouldn't on bikes.)

Sure enough. But I'd still pick a bike based on ergonomics before fancy add-ons. Although I guess you could always start screwing with rearsets and handlebars and make it fit you better.

Oh trust me that's the first thing on my mind. I loved the look of the R6 but two seconds on that sucker and I was screaming to get off. The Zx6 wasn't too bad just a little high and would need lowering. I really liked both the CBR and the GSXR but if it comes down to two bikes that I like the feel of that are the same price then you can bet your booty I'm going with the one with all the extra goodies.

I see your point now...doesn't look that bad. Perhaps the "girly" stickers can be removed.

The ones on the fairings yes but the ones on the tank are clear coated.

Can you remove the really ugly sticker?
You know, the one that says Suzuki.

In my opinion all of the new 600's are very good. It just comes down to what you are looking for in a bike.

For the height challanged peeps the Kawi is on the taller side. The yamaha seems a little lower but is wider at the seat which makes the riders inseam wider in turn making the riders stance more spread out when stopped. This is only a problem if you are short.
The Gsxr and Honda seem a little bit more narrow at the seat and dont seem as tall to me but i didnt do any actual measurements.

Britt Honda does have a 08 CBR 600RR in stock as of saturday.

Exactly my problem

The yamaha seems a little lower but is wider at the seat which makes the riders inseam wider in turn making the riders stance more spread out when stopped. This is only a problem if you are short.

Exactly why I wanted to get the hell off that sucker the second I sat on it.

The Gsxr and Honda seem a little bit more narrow at the seat and dont seem as tall to me but i didnt do any actual measurements.

From the spec sheets the seat height is actually pretty close for all of them. (33.5 r6, 32.3 cbr600, 32.1 zx6, 31.9 gsxr) But I really like the narrower seats/tanks on the cbr and gsxr

I sat on it last weekend and liked it I also like that it's an 08 thus cheaper So if anybody is looking for a great deal this is the place to go. The one I sat on was red and black I think Chuck said he had a silver one too but not sure.
